It was a really fantastic night, a great crowd and the band were just amazing.

Thank you to all businesses and friends who
donated raffle and auction prizes. Thank you to the fabulous team of friends and my family who helped out before and on the night. We were a great team and I could
not have done it without you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart - you will make a big difference to those whose lives are affected by epilepsy.

Why am I fundraising for The Daisy Garland

My 6 year old daughter, Isabelle, was diagnosed at 10 months old with a rare and catastrophic epilepsy called West Syndrome which damaged her brain and caused Global Developmental Delay.

The Daisy Garland is a little known but fantastic charity (registered charity number 1106530) which has been a lifeline to our
whole family in terms of ongoing emotional support and in providing a night time breathing monitor so that we can sleep at night knowing that she is at a much greatly reduced risk of SUDEP (Sudden
Unexplained Death in Epilepsy Patients).

The Daisy Garland also provides fully funded dieticians to the NHS so that Isabelle can use the incredible ketogenic diet as a form of treatment alongside three strong anticonvulsant epilepsy
drugs. The ketogenic diet is often used as a last resort when medications or surgery do not control seizures as it is extremely strict and complicated. It cannot be undertaken safely without a
referral from a paediatric consultant and without the support and guidance of a trained ketogenic dietician.

Isabelle started the ketogenic diet in December 2017 after eight different medications failed to bring seizure control. She was taking three of these strong medications at the maximum possible
dosage and was still having 80-100 seizures each day. Incredibly, since starting the diet, Isabelle’s seizures have reduced to 5-10 a day, her cognition has hugely increased and we have even been
able to wean her off some of these strong drugs a little.

It’s incredible what she has achieved, against all odds, and we are incredibly proud of her. This would never have been possible without The Daisy Garland
providing the dietician to the NHS.

All proceeds will be donated to the Daisy Garland (see their letter below).
